I have been informed that the Local Health Office concerned has no record of a request for access to immunisation records in respect of the person concerned. I have been further advised by the HSE that access to immunisation records, if in existence, can be facilitated by way of administrative access. However, as the request is in respect of medical records potentially in the possession of the HSE, I have referred the question to the HSE for direct reply.
